clear start

Clear Start is a system of nine serious products that utilize medicated ingredients and soothing botanicals to deliver real results.

Clear Start™ was created by the skin health experts at Dermalogica, the brand that’s been changing the face of skin care for more than 25 years. It became clear that no one was addressing the needs of teens – not only with products that get results, but also with the education they need – when Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand’s own daughters entered their teenage years.

how it works

Skin care product choices available to teens may be ample, but they aren’t good choices. Products for teens often contain harsh and inexpensive ingredients to strip the skin of oil, and are filled with artificial fragrances and colors – all things that can irritate and strip oil from skin, causing more problems than you started with!

This toner is amazing. Right when I sprayed it on, I could feel a difference and when I woke up the next day, most of my acne was cleared. It has a great scent and feels very refreshing. If you apply your next product while your face is still damp with the toner, your skin will feel moisturized without any greasiness.

I never used toner before until I purchased the 3 step kit and automatically fell in love with this toner. The scent is pleasant and I love how my skin feels as soon as I spray it on. It has helped control my acne more than I thought it would! I would definitely recommend this product!

I received a sample of this in my Ipsy bag and after two uses, I fell in love with this product! Although I am in my mid-20s, I still suffer from teenage-like acne. After washing my face in the morning and at night, I sprayed my face with the clear start toner. I love the smell and the mist dried quickly on my skin. The mist did not dry out my skin at all AND my oilness was visibly reduced. Even when I sprayed the toner at 8:30am, by 5pm, I still did not have oily skin! Honestly, I have tried hundreds of products and NONE have worked like this. Definitely going to try out the rest of the clear start products!! The product did not sting at all or cause any redness. LOVE this product!
